What's a Micro-Wedding?


Before we dive in, let's clarify: a micro-wedding (or elopement) typically includes 20 or fewer guests, focusing on what matters most – your love story and the people closest to you. When combined with a weekday celebration in Sedona, it creates a uniquely intimate and magical experience.
